UNITED sTAfrEs PATENT OFFICE.

To all whom "it may concern: Belt, known that I, JOHN A. WEBENER, a-,-citi /.en ol the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Apparatus for Storing, Diluting, and Applying Bleachingv Agents, oi which .the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to apparatus forstoring, diluting'and applyin n1trosyl-chl0- rid .foraging and bleaching our.

Theprimary object of the invention is to provide compact, simple, durable and economical. apparatus of this character, easily moved from place toplace, adapted auto matically to nix nitrosyl-chlorid stored in detachable containers, capable of being separately-sealed and removed for conve n ient-handling, ;With air or other' inactive gus or. diluent, and to discharge the mix turd=i1r=contaet with flour, the apparatus having' -capacity for varying the relative proportions of the' constituents-as desired,

for accurately and expeditiously measuringthem' in predetermined quantitie'sand Tor maintaining the relative ptOp'o'rtmns'of the constituents. The invention also 'cont'ernplates constructing this' apparatii's' in con-" veni ent' emf-for treatingfdiffernt streams of flOlll fl n the.agency separately or shown -.7levice embodying my. invention in one ts preferred forms, Figure 1 being a pl" Vie'WQF 1g". 2a's1de elevat on, F 1g.

cured to the outer end-of each pis-ton"re spectively. The pumps are constructed in the usual manner and need not be more fully described. Mounted on the base A on supportst), Q in bearings 10, 10 is shaft 11, carrying cone pulley l2 diminishing in diameter from right to left, while on shaft 7 in alinement with pulley' 12 is a similar cone pulley l3 diminishing in diameter from left to right. 'Pulley 12 is driven from pulley'13 by belt 14, which may be shifted from side to side on said cones to vary the inteijmediateof its ends at 17 t0 an upright fl8- ri'g'i'dly supported at 19.0n. ears 20fof collar 21- enci'rcling valve chamber '22. The

opposite end of this lever 'is' slotted'at 23 and adj'ustably secured by 'means of a set screw 24 and a pin 25 in side-25 securely 'held by lock nut 24: on one end of a lon itudinally movable valveste'in 2G in chem er 22. To the opposite end of this ste'in is'secured valve 27, Longitudinal rn'oti'on of valve opposite directions, and-pitm'en p p 'sbsis stem QG'is' ad'aiptedto open and close' valve yalvebbeingnormallyheld-c'losed on itssea t I (pressingagainst shoulders 30 of val 'e 27' an valve box 22. By this construction the 'entire valve may be thus removed when dethe under side of a cup threaded and .screwed on thimbletop 32, which in turn is threaded and screwed 'on sired. The size of the valve opening rnay' be varied oradjus ted byadjusting setserevgj Rocking lever 16 will open valve 27 H and release thereof iyill permit spring 29. to instantaneously close it.

InF'g. 7, I have shown an alternative means of rocking lever 116 viz. a disk 15 mounted on shaft 1.1, in li eu'of eceentric'15, j [and provider/i on its cireumferen'cejyvithjone I ornioi e lugs 33 positioned to rock the;l I6 intermittently astl' e .iSk revolves.

} pipe maybe used bleachin is similarly attached a pipe 360! al-con tainer B valve ther to being' well known in the art need not be more particularly def scribed. They are adapted to hold nitrosylchlorid or analogous liquefied bleaching agents at vaporizin temperatures.-

Leading from va ve chamber 22 is a pipe 36, having a branch 37 under control 016 a valve 38, leading from the tank A. ,This

as a mixing or dilutin l3h .,agents an tainer and conduit for the diluent and to apply 'lxe mixture directly but I pre'lcr to add as a supplemental chainher a glass diluting and mixing chamber G,,provided with adischarge pipe/39, controlled'by a valve 40. I prefer to line the interiors exposed 'to nitrosyl-chlorid with pottery porcelain or glass.

The operation ofmy preferred devicels as follows: A container charged with nitros'yhchlorid is attached to pipe 28. Valve 27v is then adjusted to admit a definite predetermined quantity of the lever 16,- y turnin set screw 24: and timing the stroke by yshi ting belt 14 on oones' 12' and 13 to desired position. Power is'thcn (aiplplied to pulley p and the feed of air or by adjusting valve 38. is thus forced into C measured flow of the bleachin a cut, hearing' a definite pro ortional re atlonsto the stream o fvair is the. charged container through ,valve 27.

b V l bero-the constituents mix and are dis 'flour bleach at a pressure of said diluent and 'mechanism, operated by said automatic means, for 0 en'- ing said valve a distance sufficient to a through said pipe ascous flour-bleach under charged into contact with the tour through pipe 39 when'valve 40 is opened.

am aware that many modifications of the device shown and describ'cdwill suggest themselves to those skilled inthe art, and I' do not wish to limit myself thereto, but what I claim is: a I Q 1. In flour bleaching apparatus, ,mdiluting andjmixing conduit, automatic means for forcing di uent thcrethrough, a pipe opening-into said conduit, a self closing valve thercin,.means for supplying gaseous pressure greater than the gressurc; greater tian the lluen't m sa1d conduit, an
